is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its dense, glossy, dark green foliage and neat, mounded form. Ideal for hedges, borders, or foundation plantings, it typically grows 3–4 feet tall (larger with time) and spreads 6–8 feet wide. In spring, it produces fragrant white flower spikes that contrast beautifully against the foliage. Otto Luyken is low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and tolerant of shade, drought, and urban conditions, making it a versatile and reliable landscape choice.
